TheESP – Ep. #464 – The lying liars lie

After discussing Nazi salutes, placebo surgery, scientology follow-up, Massimo Polidoro’s new book and several recommendations for other podcasts, we eventually get down to the meat of the show. In TWISH we hear about Delta, the science TV program that aired 61 years ago on 31 of January. Then, we look to the news:

• SWEDEN: Swedish Skeptics Awards
• CENTRAL EUROPE: Disinformation and conspiracy beliefs in East-Central Europe show significant differences
• BALTIC SEA: Follow-up on the alleged cable sabotage in the Baltic Sea
• UK: Is Google actually gonna crack down on fake reviews?
• SWEDEN: Against scientific consensus, the age of criminal responsibility could be lowered to 14

Putin and Russia collect a yet another Really Wrong Award, this time for disinformation in schools.

Enjoy! (if that’s the word)
